By such action, EIA does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Standard or Publication. EIA INTERIM STANDARDS. EIA Interim Standards contain information deemed to be of technical value to the industry, and are published at the request of the originating Committee without necessarily following the rigorous public review and resolution of comments which is procedural part of the development of an EIA Standard. EIA Interim Standards should be reviewed on an annual basis by the formulating Committee and a decision made ‘on whether to proceed to develop an EIA Standard on this subject. EIA Interim Standards must be cancelled by the Committee and removed from the EIA Standards Catalog before the end of their third year of existence. Publication of this EIA Interim Standard for tral use and comment has been approved by the Electronic Industries ‘Association. Distribution of this EIA Interim Standard for comment shall not continue beyond 36 months from the due of publication, It is expected that following this 36 month prod, this ELA Inrim Sunar, revised at necessary, will be submitted to the American National Standards Institute for approval as an American National Standard.

It provides a measure of the operating time required for parametric changes to cause capacitors to become unusable as filter capacitors on rectified mains applications. While it measures the time till wear-out, it does not indicate failure rate during the operating life. Wear-out is defined by conditions specified in table 1, Measurements are to be taken periodically and the measurements are to be taken at the same temperature throughout the test Table 1 - Definition of wear-out failure Equivalent series resistance | Greater than 200% initial requirement for equivalent series resistance Capacitance ‘Less than 80% initial measured capacitance DC leakage current Greater than initial requirement for DC leakage current Visual inspection Evidence of mechanical damage, leakage of electrolyte, or venting. 2 Test circuit Specimens may be connected using the test circuit or equivalent as shown in figure 1 Specimens that fail during the test should be replaced by new devices to maintain the circuit integrity. A typical value for inductor L is 10 H. Figure I—Suggested test
